A Danish national was arrested in Denmark on allegations of gathering information on Jewish locations and people in Berlin for Iranian intelligence and will be extradited to Germany, German and Danish authorities announced Tuesday.

The man, identified only as Ali S. under German privacy law, was arrested Thursday in the Danish city of Aarhus, according to German prosecutors.

He was directed by an Iranian intelligence service earlier this year to gather information on “Jewish localities and specific Jewish individuals” in Berlin, prosecutors said.

The suspect is accused of spying on three locations in June, presumably in preparation for further intelligence activities, including possible terrorist attacks on Jewish targets, prosecutors said.

“If this suspicion were confirmed, it would be an outrageous incident that would once again demonstrate that Iran is a threat to Jews all over the world,” German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said. (Getty Images)

Schuster added that “the German government should not only remain vigilant but also take active political action against the Iranian regime. There can be no other consequence for this allegedly planned terrorist attack.”

Ali S. will be moved from Denmark to Germany, where he will be brought before an investigating judge of Germany’s Federal Court of Justice, prosecutors said.

The suspect was remanded in custody until July 23, pending extradition to Germany, according to Denmark’s national security and intelligence service.
